Under the leadership of Zhou Wu, Sun and Huang soon arrived at He Da's room.
He Da’s body is still in the same state as when it was first discovered, lying on his back on the ground, his face black and purple, and his eyes closed.
This was not the first time for Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie to see a dead person. They had also seen people with more miserable deaths than this, so they had no mental barriers. After entering the house, the two of them learned how to deal with each other in their own way. Using a detective technique seen in modern film and television works, I started to look around the house...from the inconspicuous footprints on the floor, to the state of the door lock, to whether there was anything under the bed and furniture, and finally to the posture of the deceased. and lying position, etc.
After looking around, the two exchanged glances, and immediately got a message from each other's eyes - even this guy didn't even notice it.
Yes, this is normal.
Do you think that a person without any professional criminal investigation training can discover something by going to a crime scene and imitating the detective thinking in a movie?
If you think too much, you won’t even notice.
In fact, even if you have received professional training, you may not be able to discover anything.
The vast majority of murder cases in the world are not solved because detectives were able to figure out the method of committing the crime through various clues and dead evidence at the scene, but because the murderer was too stupid and left a very special legacy behind. There are obvious traces, the murderer's method of covering up the crime is too clumsy, the murderer's motive is too obvious and other reasons.
The kind of cases with full planning, clever techniques, perfect execution and extremely high psychological quality of the murderer may not even account for 1% of the cases in reality.
Besides, Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie were not detectives in the first place and could not detect cases; the kind of tough men who could detect cases did not have Dong in their names, only Nan.
So in the end, Huang Donglai could only do what Zhou Wu asked him to do - see what kind of poison He Da was poisoned with.
"This one...is called 'Three Steps of Soul-Severing', which is a relatively rare poison in the world." Huang Donglai briefly inspected He Da's body and came to the conclusion, "This Planting poison actually affects quite a few people...people from all over the country know it, and it is not a secret recipe; the reason why it is rare is just because the preparation process is relatively complicated and the materials are relatively expensive. If there is a slight mistake, the preparation will fail; As for its characteristics... In addition to being colorless and odorless, the poison will not occur immediately after people eat it. It usually does not occur until the person gets up and moves around, or when the qi and blood flow due to some kind of exercise, hence the name. 'Three Steps to Destroy the Soul'."
"Oh, that's right, Brother Huang, you're right." When Sun Yixie heard this, he immediately complimented his brother.
"That's..." Huang Donglai also raised his chin and said proudly, "Brother, all these years of learning are not in vain."
In terms of toxicology, Huang Donglai is indeed He is quite accomplished. After all, this is their Huangmen's special skill; basically, as long as it is a poison that has appeared in the world and has a certain degree of recognition, he can quickly identify it.Identify it.
"Hiss - this is strange." On the other side, after hearing this, Zhou Wu frowned and thought deeply, "Why would anyone give him a three-step move for a little guy like He Da? What about the poison of "Broken Soul"?"
"That certainly means something happened to him. Someone wants to kill him." Sun Yixie was very keen on this matter, almost without thinking. The location revealed the truth.
"Oh?" Zhou Wudao said, "Could it be that the 'thing' that Brother Sun Xian mentioned is..."
"Of course it is the matter in the Zeng Mansion." Also Huihui Road.
Zhou Wu also understood what Sun Yixie meant, and he continued: "You mean... there is another hidden story behind the 'haunting' of Zeng Mansion?"
"This What kind of ghost is there in the world?" Sun Yixie continued in a matter-of-fact tone, "Whether it's so-called haunted or that glass fish, there must be someone behind it to cover up their true intentions."
"Eh?" At this moment, Huang Donglai's expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then said, "Brother Sun, when you say that...I seem to understand."
They are here In the original universe, people were born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze. Naturally, they were all staunch materialists, so they could quickly follow each other's thoughts.
"What do you understand?" Sun Yixie said.
"Is this the kind of routine where one kills people in a row just to cover up one murder?" Huang Donglai said.
When Sun Yixie heard the words, he immediately became thoughtful, while Zhou Wu looked at him with a puzzled face, as if gesturing him to continue.
Huang Donglai also collected his thoughts again, and then said: "For example...the murderer behind this case, in fact, the only person he really wanted to kill was the second wife of Zeng Mansion, but He was afraid that if he only killed this one person, he would be found out, so he planned these glazed fish and haunted things in advance, killing two unrelated people, and when everyone thought it was haunted, He killed the second lady again, so that everyone would think that the second lady's death was also due to haunting, and would not think about the murder... As for why this is a big deal, maybe she was silenced because she knew too much. ."
"Oh~" Sun Yixie patted Huang Donglai on the shoulder, "Brother Huang has strength, have you deduced all this?"
"Hey? ~It’s a joke.” Huang Donglai said, “I can see through this trick after just a little thought.”
Perhaps for the two of them, who have read a lot of modern detective works, they can think of and understand this. The method is not difficult, but for Zhou Wu, this is an unusual theory, and... it does make sense.
"Ah! Huang Xiandi's words gave Zhou a sudden enlightenment!" Zhou Wu suddenly realized and praised loudly, "The two Xiandi brothers are very talented. Zhou admires them. If it depends on the stupid brother... I'm afraid I never thought..."
"Hey, Brother Zhou, you're welcome, my two brothers are just a little smart." Huang Donglai said very modestly, but he and Sun Yixie.His face was almost blooming with pride, "In my opinion, right now, we should start with He Da's case. First, we should interrogate the clerks and shopkeepers in the store, and check their kitchen. Let's see how the 'Three Steps of Soul-Destroying' got into He Da's diet, and then we'll start to think about it."
"Oh! That's right," Zhou Wujing reminded him and immediately summoned his men. The police launched further investigation.
Unfortunately, things did not go so smoothly...
The waiters and shopkeepers in this inn obviously knew nothing about poisons, and they did not know anything about poisons in the kitchen and tea making area. No problem was found. In the end, Huang Donglai used the silver needle he carried to find the poison in the teapot in He Da's room.
According to Huang Donglai's speculation, the murderer either sneaked into He Da's room and poisoned him while He Da was away, or he knocked on the door and entered normally, and secretly put the poison into the teapot while communicating with He Da. of.
In those days, there was no monitoring or anything like that. There were so many people coming and going in the inn every day. It was impossible for the waiter to remember everyone, and the guests would not pay attention to them, so It may be difficult to advance the case through on-site cross-examination.
He Da’s line is temporarily broken.
If you want to find out the truth of the whole thing, you still have to go back... and start from the Zeng Mansion.
Under Zhou Wu’s repeated requests, Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie finally refused to save face and agreed to postpone their trip and spend a few days to help him investigate the case again; however, they also made it clear that if The queen still couldn't find any results, so it was inconvenient for them to stay. After all, the Young Heroes Association was also very important.
However, there was another problem before them - if they wanted to enter the Zeng Mansion to investigate the case, they had to have an explanation.
With the power of the Zeng family, even if Zhou Wu, the head catcher, comes to do business, he can't just get in, let alone Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, two nosy people.
Fortunately, Sun Yixie is a person with many crooked ideas, so he quickly thought of a way...
Don't your Zeng family feel that their place is haunted and it's not peaceful? Then we will pretend to be Taoist priests, and let Zhou Wu be responsible for the introduction, and sneak into Zeng's house to investigate the case.
He had already decided on the name for Brother Huang, so he called him Xudong Laoxian.
